Hi

What fw version do you have on your NAS ? and I assume you installed its latest patch (for some years ago, I fixed some bug about esata feature)

Now when a 5big2 (and 2big2) reboots to perform the setup job, the esata does not have the same kernel name (/dev/!). For example you made hot-plug with several esata disks.

So try to set again an initialized setup job after a nas rebooting with your two esata disks plugged.

I have the last version - there is some patch to add?

Hi

On version 18.2, there is no fix about esata disk and patch05 does no change on this feature :

You do not answer me :

Did you try it. Please to do do it
